Strange Days
(more) »rank: 44394by: The Doors
: essential recording:Even darker than their purple-hued debut, the Doors' follow-up, Strange Days, closed 1967 with an ominous flourish. Highlighted mostly by short, radio-friendly tunes such as the bluesy 'Love Me Two Times' and the cabaret-style 'People Are Strange' and featuring a smattering of edgy recitations ('Horse Latitudes') and smoky rockers ('My Eyes Have Seen You'), the album features a centerpiece that was another ambitious extended track, 'When the Music's Over.' On it, Morrison railed at everything from organized religion to pollution, and his rallying cry--'We want the world, and we want it now!'--became a call to arms for the counterculture rising up ...

Made in Japan

: :Judging by the thick chugging that Deep Purple pull off as they enter 'Highway Star' on this classic 1972 set, this band was of an era that appreciated size in sound. Ritchie Blackmore's guitar and Jon Lord's keyboards owned the evenings on the quintet's Japanese tour, giving the band a front-end density that kept drummer Ian Paice's snap heavy and loud. On tour in support of Machine Head, Deep Purple indulged in some great long-form jams, reaching into the 10-minute range for most of the main set and closing with the now-famed live read of 'Space Truckin'.' The prizes here fill the second, ...

Got Live If You Want It

:Album Description:As Brian Jones' time with the Stones (and with the rest of this world) was drawing to a close, the band was becoming both more progressive in its conception and more adept in its musicianship. Though the studio recordings from this golden period are impeccable, nowhere is the band's growth more evident than on GOT LIVE IF YOU WANT IT. Recorded by Glyn Johns at London's Royal Albert Hall, this album shows the Stones as a powerful live unit, now capable of subtle emotional shadings as well as rock & roll raveups. The Stones pay homage to their roots with versions of ...

Standard jewel case. essential recording:It's no accident that The Eagles Greatest Hits might one day pass Michael Jackson's Thriller as the best-selling album of all time-- the Eagles made great singles. By contrast, their albums could be spotty and strained by self-conscious artistry. Hotel California was arguably the band's best single album--it was certainly the Eagles' biggest original disc-- and it also underscored the band's need to make a big statement. The title tune reflected the album's theme of paradise lost in California, painting this picture ...

Deepest Purple: The Very Best of Deep Purple
(more) »rank: 99653by: Deep Purple
: :In the '70s, Deep Purple carved their niche in hard rock royalty with a heavy guitar-driven sound. The monstrous riff that opened 'Smoke on the Water' became the first thing many aspiring guitarists learned to play. Songs like 'Woman from Tokyo' and 'Highway Star' epitomized the screaming rock vocalist of the '70s, and many of Deep Purple's finest tracks were graced by Ian Gillan's voice (who also lent his wail to the Jesus Christ Superstar album.) David Coverdale, who later sang in Whitesnake, also provided front man duties for a while. Both 'Space Truckin'' and 'Highway Star' were party favorites, the latter's breakneck ...
